Wallflower
THE VERVE PIPE · Parachute 2017 · Track 05 of 08
It's a long day when you're different Haven't found your place In a cruel world, no mercy here
Lions lie in wait
In your poor shoes And your poor coat In your poor house on the corner Where everyone can judge you
Where everyone drives on
You're a wallflower That's what you are Clinging desperate to the rail A wallflower Right there you are Hiding peaceful 'neath your veil Just to get through the day
Was a big day in a small town Spotlights on the hill With poster boys and pony girls They're going in for the kill
In this small town With their small minds And your small house on the corner Where everyone drives past you
Where everyone drives on
You're a wallflower That's what you are Clinging desperate to the rail You're a wallflower Right there you are Hiding peaceful 'neath your veil Just to get through the day Feeling smaller When you're smaller You dream bigger Dream bigger
(In your poor shoes) (In your poor coat) (In your poor house) 'Til one day (In a cruel world) There's a hand on your hand (In a cruel world) And hope on your face (It gets better) It gets better
Wallflower There you are Peeking out beneath your veil My wallflower A secret star Rising high above the rail Just get through today Wallflower
It gets better Just get through today Wallflower It gets better Just get through today
